Little South is where the artists come to play - created with the goal of supporting and promoting local DJs and Producers in West Cornwall, UK, who specialize in various genres of dance music. The enthusiastic response from the Cornish nightlife community was overwhelming, allowing Little South to become a crucial platform for local artists seeking exposure at events. As time went on, our reach expanded beyond Cornwall and encompassed artists and events from across the entire South West of England, UK. One of our defining features has been the opportunity to showcase DJ mixes through our podcast series. Since our establishment, we have actively published podcast mixes from some of the most talented DJs in the South West. These mixes serve as a testament to the exceptional skills and creativity of our region's DJs, providing a platform for them to showcase their talent to a wider audience.

At Little South, we have a strong commitment to nurturing nightlife and live music events. A crucial aspect of our work is event promotion, which we prioritize and strive to excel at. Our dedicated team actively seeks out localized, independent music events to showcase and promote. Additionally, we proudly provide a platform for major events happening throughout the South West region, including specialist music festivals and large capacity live music events. By actively supporting and promoting these events, we aim to contribute to a thriving music scene and ensure that both local artists and established acts receive the recognition they deserve.

The Little South pages serve as a platform for emerging musical talent in the South West of England. Our goal is to encourage, foster relationships, and provide opportunities for new artists to showcase their sounds and events.

Artist Interview

"2020 is going to be the year that I make time and get back to doing what I love - playing quality house music at parties!"

Hi, please introduce yourself to those unfamiliar with your work.

Hi, I'm Matt - Little South founder and huge lover of house music. Having had to scale back my live DJ work due to other work commitments, I still keep a close eye on the South West dance music scene. 2020 is going to be the year that I make time and get back to doing what I love - playing quality house music at parties!

How would you describe your DJ sound?

I started out years ago playing hard dance music and although the style got me into DJing, it really wasn't what I loved to play. Influences such as Pete Tong, Stuart Price, Fatboy Slim and Paul Woolford back in the early 2000's meant that my love for house music grew and grew. My current sound is deeper and progressive but if I like a track I will find some way of getting into my sets!

Talk through your podcast mix.

This mix is my first podcast mix for a couple of years. It features some remixes of well known tunes such as Madonna's Vogue and also some lesser known tracks which have been personal favourites over the years. I really enjoyed taking the time to create this mix and I hope that you enjoy listening to it.
